IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT “HOT LAMP RESTART”

When the TV has been powered on long enough for the lamp unit to get hot, it may take several minutes for the picture to appear on-screen in the following situations:

•When the Quick Restart™ feature is set to OFF and you turn the TV off and then on again within a few minutes.

•If the TV is on when a short-term power failure, power surge, or other similar power failure occurs, such that the TV loses and regains power within a few minutes.

This is a property of DLP TV lamp technology and is NOT a sign of malfunction.

If this occurs, the green LED on the TV front panel will blink (and the red LED will be lit solid) until the TV is finished restarting the lamp and the normal picture appears. If BOTH green and red LEDs are blinking at a one-second rate, you will need to turn the TV off and then

on again to restart the lamp.

52HM95, 62HM95 specifications

The Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 are part of Toshiba's renowned line of rear projection televisions that made waves in the mid-2000s for their picture quality and innovative features. These models are particularly noted for their large screen sizes and advanced technology that appealed to home theater enthusiasts.

Starting with the display technology, both models utilize DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, which provides enhanced brightness levels, deep black levels, and impressive color accuracy compared to traditional CRT televisions. With the 62HM95 boasting a substantial 62-inch screen and the 52HM95 featuring a 52-inch display, both models are designed to offer an immersive viewing experience suitable for larger rooms.

The key feature that sets the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 apart is the incorporation of Toshiba's advanced imaging technology, including HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) processing. This feature enhances the picture quality by improving image sharpness, and reducing noise in lower quality video sources, ensuring that film and sports experiences are smooth and visually appealing.

Moreover, these models are equipped with 720p high-definition resolution, offering a display resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This level of HD ensures that viewers can enjoy their favorite movies and shows in sharper detail than standard definition. The utilization of a color wheel in combination with the DLP technology contributes to vibrant color reproduction, making for engaging visuals whether you're watching a blockbuster or a nature documentary.

Connectivity is another strong point of the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95. Both models feature multiple inputs, including HDMI ports, component video inputs, and composite video inputs, making it easy to connect various external devices such as game consoles, DVD players, and set-top boxes. The inclusion of an integrated digital tuner means that users can easily access over-the-air HD broadcasts without needing an additional external box.

In terms of design, the Toshiba models present a sleek and modern aesthetic, with a minimalistic bezel that maximizes the screen view. The use of a rear projection system means they are relatively deep compared to flat-panel TVs, but this is a trade-off for larger screen sizes at a more affordable price point.

Overall, the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 remain notable options for those looking for effective home entertainment solutions. With features like DLP technology, HQV processing, and strong connectivity options, they provide an excellent foundation for building a satisfying home theater experience. Their combination of screen size, technology enhancements, and user-friendly connections makes them a consideration for anyone seeking to enjoy high-quality content in their living spaces.
